(:41) Perez Hilton 2b, Matt presses, "Did you expect Miss California to come up with a more middle-of-the-road answer, to be politically correct, or did you expect her to speak her mind?"

I would have appreciated it had she left her politics and her religion out, because Miss USA represents all Americans."

(:34) Miss CA 3c, Lauer asks basically, "Will this usher in a more PC era?"She says, "When I'm asked a specific question, I'm going to give a specific answer. I'm not going to stand in the middle. I'm going to take one side or another."

(:19) Miss CA 3d1, "I don't take back what I said, I was true to myself, and I know now I can go out and speak to young people about standing up for what you believe in and never compromising anything, for anyone or anything, even if it is the crown of Miss USA."
